What does Zuck want? I don’t mean this in a rude way but what are his motivations? He’s already rich and powerful. He’s already achieved success in business. If he doesn’t compete in AI or whatever, the world will still progress and achieve what it needs to. So what does he want out of it? To be even richer? Or does he think he is doing some kind of good? Or is it simply that he wants to feel relevant and part of whatever is happening in the world? I wonder why he doesn’t try to solve some problem others are ignoring.

I think his desires here are socially motivated. The people he's around operate a certain way and they all mirror each other. This is why I really hated the backlash against virtue signaling -- at least we had a shared definition of virtue! The current clique in power seems to prefer vice signaling; you get status in proportion to how much sketchy shit you get away with. This trend is really leading us in a bad direction

The same reason all of them compulsively toil despite not needing to.
The denial of death, they can’t have physical immortality so they build legacies and monuments and etc.
There’s a few books on it, the worm at the core, the denial of death, they don’t specifically speak to the foibles of billionaires but it’s a logical extension.
